Social Action Committee – The group met Sunday, March 23. Minutes from this and previous meetings are here. After Earth Fest, we will meet to discuss our next outreach.

Book Club – The club meets the 2nd and 4th Sundays after the service.  The format is very low key with a few chapters discussed or used as a springboard for other discussions at each meeting.  The book for spring is Horse by Pulitzer Prize winner Geraldine Brooks. The author has created a sweeping story of spirit, obsession and injustice using a discarded painting in a junk pile, a skeleton in an attic, and the greatest racehorse in American history as the impetus for her tale. The first 100 pages will be discussed at the first meeting on April 13.  Interested?  All are welcome.

Live Poets – The regular schedule will be the 1st and 3rd Sundays after the service.
